Kylie Minogue

Kylie Minogue
 

Kylie Ann Minogue, OBE (pronounced /ˈkaɪliː mɨˈnoʊɡ/ KY-lee mə-NOHG; born 28 May 1968), is an Australian pop singer, songwriter, and actress. After beginning her career as a child actress on Australian television, she achieved recognition through her role in the television soap opera Neighbours, before commencing her career as a recording artist in 1987. Her first single, "Locomotion", spent seven weeks at number one on the Australian singles chart and became the highest selling single of the decade. This led to a contract with songwriters and producers Stock, Aitken & Waterman. Her debut album, Kylie (1988), and the single "I Should Be So Lucky", each reached number one in the United Kingdom, and over the next two years, her first 13 singles reached the British top ten. Her debut film, The Delinquents (1989) was a box-office hit in Australia and the UK despite negative reviews.

Initially presented as a "girl next door", Minogue attempted to convey a more mature style in her music and public image. Her singles were well received, but after four albums her record sales were declining, and she left Stock, Aitken & Waterman in 1992 to establish herself as an independent performer. Her next single, "Confide in Me", reached number one in Australia and was a hit in several European countries in 1994, and a duet with Nick Cave, "Where the Wild Roses Grow", brought Minogue a greater degree of artistic credibility. Drawing inspiration from a range of musical styles and artists, Minogue took creative control over the songwriting for her next album, Impossible Princess (1997). It failed to attract strong reviews or sales in the UK, but was successful in Australia and Israel where it reached the number 1 position.

Minogue returned to prominence in 2000 with the single "Spinning Around" and the dance-oriented album Light Years, and she performed during the closing ceremonies of the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Her music videos showed a more sexually provocative and flirtatious personality and several hit singles followed. "Can't Get You Out of My Head" reached number one in more than 40 countries, and the album Fever (2001) was a hit throughout the world, including the United States, a market in which Minogue had previously received little recognition. Minogue embarked on a concert tour but cancelled it when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005. After surgery and chemotherapy treatment, she resumed her career in 2006 with Showgirl: The Homecoming Tour. Her tenth studio album X was released in 2007 and was followed by the KylieX2008 tour. In 2009, she embarked upon her For You, For Me Tour, her first concert tour of the United States and Canada.

Minogue has achieved worldwide record sales of more than 60 million, and has received notable music awards, including multiple ARIA and Brit Awards and a Grammy Award. She has mounted several successful concert tours and received a Mo Award for "Australian Entertainer of the Year" for her live performances. She was awarded the Order of the British Empire "for services to music", and an Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2008.

Now Surprising Six-Figure Jobs

Now Surprising Six-Figure Jobs by Cindy Perman
Many teachers are dedicated and beautiful - and with any job there are people who are lazy and worthless. Unfortunately, trade and proprietary systems allow them to stay in our school to teach. I moved to the area schools are great, so, my children will get better qualified teachers and better opportunities. My house was little more than the surrounding area and I have to stress about paying the mortgage but I do see the benefits of daily ... and it is worth it!
government trade contractors often make 6 digits.
Find the highest paid in the NY DA's office, and it is not a lawyer, it is a mechanical, electrical, plumbers, and the highest paid of all full-time employees (whether to 6 digits) is a painter!
The lesson is, the parents, if you want your kids to have a financially comfortable career, do not let your children grow up to be lawyers, they have become plumbers, mechanics and painters.
... Although Law School and the ABA did not want anyone to know this, "most of the Lawyers Not Get 6 figures" and never because there will be a glut of lawyers in this country. Trend that began in the early 1990s and as a result of more than hundreds of well educated lawyer who has no real practical experience as most spent their days trapped in the centers, instead of honing the skills of document review practice. There are hundreds of them are just scrapping by on less wages and survive without any benefits. Moreover, these lawyers lack the necessary skills to transition into another field, employers do not want to spend time and incur costs to train a lawyer who has been basically trained for nothing in particular based on his or her law school education and subsequent document review experience. Even experienced lawyers have little to offer prospective employers in this market given the special nature of the skills that a lawyer has a rare non-lawyer transferred to the field. It's all very dirty little secret that the "law school-industry money machine" and the ABA did not want the public to know.

by Joe Mont


As an impulse buy, you might pick off a few dollars for Shamwow, a wallet or Weight Aluma Shake. But if the TV infomercial persuade you to part with thousands of dollars to get-rich-quick scheme?

There are many thousands who will and do. If no suction, there would not be so many get rich ads on TV.

The persuasiveness of infomercials working on several levels. They often appear in the leading financial news channel, giving them the air of honor and, perhaps, naive to give viewers a good sense of their regular programming or customized with "insiders."

At the time many Americans lost their jobs and excessive debt, the prospect of efficient road to riches can be easy to sell. The offering promises a lucrative income and back up the testimonials of satisfied customers by boasting the success of the star.

As is so often a rule to live by: If it sounds too good to be true, maybe not. No amount of celebrity endorsements or success stories to be expected that changes when it comes to infomercials.

In general, this subset of infomercials creeping along the fine line between hyperbole general advertising and direct mistaken. For the most part, this is not a deceiver fly-by-night or overseas spammers. Many familiar faces in the infomercials have been on for years. There are actually books, charts, DVDs and mentoring services, as promised, the catch is that you will not always get them by calling the phone number or attend a free seminar. The deal that you see on TV is usually no more than a means to hook you into buying ingredients added which can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars over time.

And as a result of which promised to them, echoing in the rose-colored testimonials, they often exaggerate either, distortions or lies.

Last month, the Federal Trade Commission went after one prominent infomercial king and joined the Colorado Attorney General John Suthers to take unusual steps to go after a woman who offered testimonials.

Russell Dalbey, CEO and founder of the company behind the program "building wealth" "Winning in the Cash Flow Business" by the FTC charged with deceiving consumers with what he described as "false claims that they can make huge sums of money quickly."

"When someone is selling a program designed to help people make money, they must accurately describe how much consumers can expect to make and honest about how quickly they will be able to do so," said David Vladeck, director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection. "Nothing happens in this case, and people who bought the program to pay the price."

According to the FTC, "millions of consumers nationwide to" see infomercials for Winning in Cash Flow Business hosted by TV personality Gary Collins. The program is claimed to teach how to find customers, brokers and earn commission on seller-financed promissory notes - private mortgage or note is often secured by a house or land that is the subject of the loan.

"You'll be amazed how easy it is to generate an additional revenue stream every month build financial freedom and a better quality of life in just minutes a day .. Or even retire earlier than you ever dreamed possible. Order now and you'll be ready to profit in a matter of minutes, "said one of the infomercials.

Complaint said consumers spent about $ 40 to $ 160 at the beginning of the program and then encouraged to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars more about additional products and services.

Promote the "system" is the testimonials from consumers who claim to have made the "$ 1.2 million in 30 days," "$ 79,000 in a few hours" and "$ 262,216 part-time."

The FTC and the Colorado AG Marsha Kellogg charged with falsely claiming he received $ 79,975.01 from a single transaction using Dalbey program, and that its total revenue of more than $ 134,000. The complaint alleges he received $ 50,000 less than what was claimed.

The charges faced by Dalbey came as no surprise Suzann Bacon, vice president of operations for the Denver office of the Better Business Bureau.

'We have been working with this case since 2003.'s Been a long,' he said. "It's not just infomercials, it is the whole business model in this case It is a very small handful of people who make money with what they sell .."

BBB is initially accredit Dalbey company in 2003, but repealed that seal of approval within one year.

Bacon's Office has collected 170 complaints related to the infomercials in the past three years, largely on services, sales practices and false advertising.

A common tactic in a review of the BBB to find fraud claims that may not relate directly to the content of what is offered - something that claims are "time limited offer" or "value of $ 100," for example, although the promotion is a constant and arbitrary pricing .

"In today's economy, when people find a job and everything is so slow, people are looking for something too good to be true," said Bacon.

Dalbey is not the only legal woes facing infomercial star.

In 2008, Utah residents Linda Woolf and David Gengler were charged in connection with the "Teach Me Trade" stock-picking system. Customers pay between $ 3,000 to $ 40,000 to learn the system, although the duo, in the words of the Securities and Exchange Commission, "successful traders." Combined, they earn more than $ 6 million to sell the product.

The SEC complaint alleges that at their workshop presentations between 2003-06, Woolf and Gengler made false and misleading statements to sell the package TMTT personal mentoring, software and class, often targeting retired. During the workshop, Gengler urged investors to borrow their retirement accounts to purchase this product, the SEC said.

This month a federal judge in Texas sentenced Rulack Eric Farrington, another infomercial star, to 11 years in prison for "orchestrating a mortgage fraud scheme millions of dollars in the Dallas area." He was also ordered to pay approximately $ 1.6 in restitution, and lost about $ 1.2 million to the United States

Author Kevin Trudeau is the infomercial for "Free Money - They Do not Want You to Know About" is a variation of the infomercials had popularized by Martin Lesko (known for wearing a suit adorned with the Riddler as a question mark).

Trudeau, might try to pull the tea party sensibility even as he supported a way to collect money-strings-attached from the government, spends a lot of infomercial promoting these secrets as if they were predicted from the "Da Vinci Code." The government wants him brought down, you see, because the information he was carrying hazardous. In fact, it seems to be a list of terms from the various government programs, most of which can be easily found by searching the Internet.

Consumer news and advocacy site ConsumerAffairs.com, however, has logged numerous complaints that the books are ordered Trudeau has led to forced upsells and incur additional costs, products that are not desirable.

Real estate, in particular, is a category ripe for infomercials, with tips that offer a lot about how to buy and flip distressed property. This is a theme that many may have first seen through the late 1980s infomercials featuring Tom Vu, a Vietnamese immigrant who claims to have amassed a fortune by flipping properties.

"Real Estate & Foreclosure Profits" Dean Graziosi programs is near constant presence on TV late at night.

Graziosi, self-proclaimed real estate mogul who rose to the status of that after a childhood dominated by poverty, trying to inform people who bought the system about how the current housing crisis can be tapped.

He claimed a variety of methods allow users to buy the property for as little as a few hundred dollars, and that the housing market has bottomed out and are ready to soar again. For $ 19.95 you can order a copy of the book Graziosi and learn his secrets. One can be sure, though, that the disclaimer that "Some students may have purchased the optional support programs. Results not typical" means buyers will get more calls still promoting the sale of more expensive materials. For Graziosi's credit, the majority of complaints logged with the Better Business Bureau in Arizona his home base was "resolved," and he maintains a fairly large internet following.

Armando Montelongo parlayed the exposure as host of former network A & E's "Flip This House" became a national slate of free seminars promoting the tactics needed to buy and fix run-down properties for profit. His infomercial boasts that he is "America No. 1 and top real estate investment experts."

An investigation by the Nashville TV station WTVF, Channel 5, however, found that the seminar was a little more than a pitch to buy the show follow-up to $ 1,500. Although the infomercial claims Montelongo will present at the seminars (free or paid), he failed to appear.

The reporters know that Montelongo has 30 seminars across the nation that week and did not go anywhere. The face of the real time, they said (quoting the complaint received by the Texas Attorney General's Office) will set you back upwards $ 20,000.

News team also found that one in the infomercial star pupil to face eviction and confiscation of several in Nevada. Other claims to have made $ 110,000 in eight months, although the reality has declared bankruptcy and had no income over $ 17,000 per year.

Also, while it is possible to buy distressed properties and flip them when the economy improves, do you have the means to travel to where the property, assess them and the surrounding neighbors, buy them, fix them and maintain them, pay taxes on each and sell for profit may be many years later when the time comes? if you have a job already, the answer is almost certainly not.

I have very little sympathy for those caught in this scheme .. It seems a cross between being naive or stupid. Why do not they recognize the deception? Do you really think you can get 80,000 in one weekend with little or no experience etc? I can see that the "victim" that old .. I have sympathy for them .. but other people get what they deserve in my opinion.

I agree with Cal (above) to fine the media, and use the money to restore the victims of fraud will greatly reduce the scammers. The reason "get rich quick" nonsense works well for those who sell, is our innate desire for immediate gratification, and basic human psychology that encourages people to take the easiest way out. Mixture with a tanking economy, high unemployment, foreclosures, maxed out credit cards, etc., and the field is ripe for the picking for scam artists, and they will reap a harvest of fresh victims. one more thing, if they make megabucks in the "business" they why do they want to share the "secret" information with others? RED FLAG up there. they make megabucks selling B.S. to others, because their business is selling scheme, or a ponzi scheme!. Have you ever called one of the 1 800 number that promises a free book, or a 30 day supply diet pills? OMG, the upsell to the max, and when you finally get to the free product, usually about half an hour later, hit you for shipping and handling costs, and that, my friend requires you to use your credit card. If you do the math, the "shipping and handling" costs more than the cost of their free product, so you actually buy the product, and they have your credit card #, name, address .. etc., and you placed on the list, which they lease to other companies for revenues over $ $ $ amazing is not it? but perfecly Law, as long as you get the product. ! WOW.

Lets be honest it is greed that drives most people to fall because there are infomercials. I remember years ago in Phoenix when they broke up an old envelope scam. For those not familiar someone tells you that they found the envelope with thousands of dollars in them (they then showed the money in an envelope) and if you'll give them a deposit of good faith they will leave you with an envelope full of money while they were supposed to go and do something . Of course, after waiting for longer than say too you open the envelope until (They switched on you) and filled with newspaper clippings. You come out a few hundred or thousand dollars. I left some details out because it will take to long to type out here, but any way after they were caught, they told the police that it was greed that makes it work sucker scam.
